    Satellite Networks are a combination of nodes, some of which are satellites. A node in the network can be a satellite, an earth station, or an end-user terminal. Satellites are used to transmit and receive information from one point on the earth to another.

    A satellite network is a combination of nodes, some of which are satellites, that provides communication from one point on the Earth to another. A node in the network can be a satellite, an Earth station, or an end-user terminal or telephone.

    Table 1 Satellite frequency bands

    Example 16.1
    What is the period of the Moon, according to Keplers law? Here C is a constant approximately equal to 1/100. The period is in seconds and the distance in kilometers. The Moon is located approximately 384,000 km above the Earth. The radius of the Earth is 6378 km. Applying the formula, we get.

    Example 16.2
    According to Keplers law, what is the period of a satellite that is located at an orbit approximately 35,786 km above the Earth? Solution

    This means that a satellite located at 35,786 km has a period of 24 h, which is the same as the rotation period of the Earth. A satellite like this is said to be stationary to the Earth. The orbit, as we will see, is called a geosynchronous orbit.

    Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO) Satellite Systems


    Advantages:

    large area coverage, stay where they are at 35,786km (22,000miles) above the Earth satellite rotation is synchronous to earth three satellites can cover the whole globe low system complexity

    Disadvantages:

    long propagation delay (~125 msec) high transmission power is required

    Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) Satellite Systems


    Advantages:

    slightly longer propagation delays (~40 msec) slightly higher transmission power required more expensive than LEOs but cheaper than GEOs

    Disadvantages:

    coverage spot greater than a LEO, but still less than a GEO still the need to be in rotation to preserve their low altitude 6-8 hours to circle the earth. multiple MEO satellites are still needed to cover a region continuously handovers and satellite tracking are still needed, hence, high complexity

    Global Position System (GPS)


    Operated by the US Department of Defense. Orbiting at an altitude about 18,000km Consists of 24 satellites in 6 orbits At any time, four satellites are visible from any point on Earth A GPS receiver has an almanac that tell the current position of each satellite

    Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Systems


    Advantages:

    short propagation delays (10-15 msec) low transmission power required low price for satellite and equipment

    Disadvantages:
    small coverage spot they have to be in rotation to preserve their low altitude (90 mins period) a network of at least 6 LEO satellites is required to cover a region continuously high system complexity due the need for handovers and satellite tracking

    Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Systems


    LEO satellites have polar orbits Altitude is between 500-2000 km Rotation period of 90-120 min. An LEO system has a cellular type of access Footprint has a diameter of 8000 km. Delay < 20 ms, accept for telephony Work together as a network, connected through intersatellite links (ISLs)

    Each satellite has 48 spot beams. The system can have up to 66*48 =3168 beams Active beam approximately 2000 due to some beam turn off as the satellite approaches the pole

    Use Keplers formula to find the period and altitude for an Iridium satellite and Globalstar satellite. Iridium satellites are orbiting at 750 km above the earth surface. Globalstar satellites are orbiting at 1400 km above the earth surface. The radius of the earth 6378 km

    25

    Iridium satellites are orbiting at 750 km above the earth surface. Considering the radius of the earth 6378 km, the radius of the orbit is then (750 km + 6378 km) = 7128 km. Using the Kepler formula, we have Period = (1/100) (distance) 1.5 = (1/100) (7128)1.5 = 6017 s = 1.67 hours

    26

    Globalstar satellites are orbiting at 1400 km above the earth surface. Considering the radius of the earth, the radius of the orbit is then (1400 km + 6378 km) = 7778 km. Using the Kepler formula, we have Period = (1/100) (distance) 1.5 = (1/100) (7778)1.5 = 6860 s = 1.9 hours

    The space shutter is an example of a LEO satellite. Sometimes, it orbits at an altitude of 250 km. a. Using a mean earth radius of 6378km, calculate the period of the shuttle orbit. b. Determine the linear velocity of the shutter along this orbit.
    a. a = 6378 + 250 = 6628 km T = 1/100 a1.5 = 5396 sec = 1.5 hours b. The linear velocity is the circumference divided by the period (2a)/T = (41645)/(5396) = 7.72 km/s
